LANSING — The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services’ Maternal Mortality Surveillance program has launched a new website dedicated to preventing pregnancy-related deaths. Hear Her Michigan provides potentially life-saving messages about urgent maternal health warning signs.

“The loss of one mother is one too many,” said Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian, MDHHS chief medical executive, in a news release. “MDHHS is committed to helping prevent maternal mortality and morbidity in our state through education, resources and awareness.

“This campaign is also dedicated to encouraging everyone, including health care professionals, caregivers, friends and family, to listen and act when pregnant and postpartum persons say something that doesn’t feel right. We all have a role to play in preventing maternal deaths.”
